The materials are "delicate" so I wouldn't recommend for a kid's room; it would be destroyed in under a week. It is perfect for us, however, and I expect many years of use. Everything arrived in good condition, no scratches or chips. The instructions are thorough with lots of pictures so it went together easily. The platform with slats provides a LOT more support than our old metal bed frame.

The materials are "delicate" so I wouldn't recommend for a kid's room; it would be destroyed in under a week. It is perfect for us, however, and I expect many years of use.

This is a decent under bed storage unit and when coupled with the matching head board looks nice. The construction is what one would expect for the price and the kit assembles easily in just a few hours. I did read several complaints about the drawer bottoms not being very strong - I used glue when assembling the drawers and have had no issues with the bottom falling off. Simple and easy to do during the assembly process. So don't write this off if you are worried about the drawer quality. So far so good.

This bed is exactly what I was looking for, but we bumped the wood and already it has nicks in the black paint. Also if the drawers are not lined up exactly correct, they seem flimsy. We will probably end up securing some of the boards so they don't pop off as it is for my sons room. It does look nice!
I have noticed a smell though, and now that I noticed read other reviews that smelled it too. We do not have AC in our house, and on hot days it smells a little like puke (really!) I am a little concerned about this.

Ordered this a couple of years ago and though it has served it's purpose, I can say that it made with cheap material. The wood slacks will come loose from time to time and I would have to lift the mattress to reset them. And I'm not sure if I can move this frame. Seems like it would fall apart if I do.

I bought this because we were looking for an alternative to chest of drawers taking up too much space in our small bedroom. I must admit I expected the worst after reading reviews of other similar beds..complaints of broken pieces, 7 hour set up times, crazy directions, etc..So when three boxes showed up I thought I'd be at it all day and night getting this thing together if it was even in one piece. To my delight everything arrived undamaged, and matched description exactly. The assembly wasn't terrible although it will take you about 2 1/2 hours and a friend to help once you get to the point you start standing things up for assembly. Drawers glide smoothly and are actually quite a nice size. The whole thing looks great assembled and I've gotten compliments on it already from family. We did use our box spring because my hubby was worried the slats wouldn't make for a good nights sleep with just a mattress over top. Makes the bed a bit taller than we are used to but I actually like the effect...great buy for the money so far!

Overall, this was a great purchase for the price and I'm very satisfied. The assembly does require two strong people, as the pieces are extremely heavy. It doesn't look fancy by any means, but it certainly doesn't look cheap either.
What I like:
The size fits a queen bed perfectly and there aren't sharp corners that I bang my shins on
The design is unassuming and the drawers slide very easily - no sticking or splintery pieces
What I don't like:
The sides are flush to the floor, but the front and back ends have very narrow openings that things can roll under (like an earring) and be extremely difficult to retrieve
The bottoms of the drawers are quite flimsy so you can't really fill them all the way, and definitely not with anything heavy (like books or papers)

Great bed for the price. Assembly wasn't complicated (we did have a drill and hammer in the house to accelerate assembly). Very comfortable slat system and fantastic storage capacity with 6 full drawers (we got some drawer organizers from the Container Store and it made it even better).

Will this bed attach to the Yaletown Full/ Queen Black Headboard, Model #B-6000-YALE? That headboard WILL NOT attach to a standard queen-size bed frame, such as the Leggett & Platt Steel Insta-lock Queen/ Fulll Bedframe, Item #16871070. I purchased both items here. I am very disappointed in the headboard in that regard.

I purchased this bed in King size. We have not opened or set up bed because we have moved into a smaller home. I was wondering if I could exchange the King for the Queen, even though I have had the bed for probably over a month? Because the king is too big. But again, I have never removed it from the boxes. Can I exchange to a queen?

We are moving in a month - so I'm considering assembling the bed (it has arrived) - but then will need to deconstruct the main frame for moving. How easy is this bed to "un" assemble? Sometimes with pressboard - the screws never work well after being removed once.

Thank you for your question, Alwaysonthemove. Taking apart the Yaletown Black Queen 6-drawer Platform Storage Bed, is easier than it was putting it together. We suggest, as you take it apart, to mark each piece and bag any of the screws, washers, etc. that belong to that piece. You might also consider taping the instructions to the bed as well. Have a great day.

I love platform beds... one review said the wood had some weight to it which made me think that the bed is sturdy and I love the fact that the bed has six drawers on it which will give me more space in my room.

It's what I needed and it's a great price with no shipping charges which is even better.

i'm thinking of purchasing a simmons mattress. will this platform work with the simmons. i have read some of the other questions and i'm not clear on rather you recommend using of not using the box springs

Hello gbrooks, thanks for your inquiry. This is a platform style bed, therefore a box spring is not needed. You can still use a box spring if you wish, it will just raise the height of the bed. Thanks for shopping with us.

Hello Housemate21, I hope your morning is off to a great start. The bed will be assembled by you as it comes in three boxes. Put the instructions some place and when the time comes to move you can use it as a reference when you take the bed apart. Thank you for shopping with us.
